Welcome to the OECD and to this very timely Global Forum on Development. This year’s meeting is taking place at a critical moment in time. The global community is looking beyond the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) into a Post-2015 world, at a time when we are beginning to see a positive, albeit fragile, outlook for the global economy.
In this complex international context, we have organised this Forum to bring you together – the experts, stakeholders and policy-makers – in an inclusive exercise which aims to advance our common development goals, promote a better understanding of the current shifting dynamics of poverty, and explore ways forward.
A more ambitious Post-2015 vision.
We are fast approaching a critical juncture. Over the next two years, the international community will seek to reach agreement on issues of major global relevance for humanity. Some of the most important include the global development framework to follow the MDGs, the follow-up to Rio+20, and the financing for a development agenda.
